Russia's "Foreign Agent" Law: the Implications for Non-state Media and Journalists
Repenko, Veronika ; Shavit, Anna (advisor) ; Miessler, Jan (referee)
Tato práce zkoumá aplikaci legislativy Ruska o "cizích agentech" na nevládní mediální organizace a novináře během poslední dekády. Zákon byl přijat a několikrát rozšířen v průběhu trvalého zpřísnění politiky Kremlu vůči zahraničním zemím a vnitřní opozici. Cíle této práce jsou (1) zjistit, jak označení "cizí agent" ovlivňuje profesionální autonomii novinářů a mediálních společností, a (2) jak tyto subjekty transformují své pracovní postupy, aby mohly nadále pracovat pod tlakem tohoto označení. K provedení výzkumu byla zvolena metoda polostrukturovaného hloubkového rozhovoru. S integrací důkazů z přehledu literatury, mediálních zdrojů a odpovědí respondentů tato studie ukazuje, že legislativa o "cizích agentech" je Kremlu využívána jako sofistikovaný nástroj kontroly nad těmi, kteří jsou považováni za "nežádoucí" nebo nebezpeční. Mediální společnosti a novináři označení jako "cizí agenti" čelí finančním obtížím, problémům při získávání informací od zpravodajských zdrojů a dalším obtížím. Musí splňovat vyčerpávající požadavky zákona, fungovat pod hrozbou pokut a trestních obvinění, emigrovat nebo jednoduše zavřít. Celkově respondenti popisují legislativu o "cizích agencích" jako diskriminační. Nicméně práce ukazuje, že se zdají dělat maximum pro to, aby mohli nadále pracovat nezávisle i v této...

Theory and research of disinformation in contemporary media studies
Steinwald, Robert ; Podzimek, Jan (advisor) ; Miessler, Jan (referee)
Disinformation is an important topic, which is currently receiving considerable attention not only in academic circles, but also in the public sphere. The reason is their potentially strong and unpredictable influence. Despite the importance of this topic, we find that the very concept of "disinformation" is not entirely stable and its meaning may vary according to individual authors or approaches. However, it is not only the meaning in terms of definition, but also the properties and internal structure and the relationship to related concepts such as fake news, hoaxes, misinformation, etc. And it is the mapping of various concepts of disinformation that will be the research goal of this bachelor thesis. The material will be theoretically focused professional publications on the topic from various authors. However, the concept of misinformation will not only be examined on a semantic level, but also in relation to the social environment and events, including the relationship to media legislation, regulation and literacy, as well as to certain topics in connection with which a number of misinformations are spreading (eg covid- 19). This will be taken into account in several studies and reports focused on misinformation in today's society.

Hashir, Angelina Duaa ; Miessler, Jan (advisor) ; Numerato, Dino (referee)
The study focuses on the Pakistani Shia Muslim diaspora residing in Oslo. The study will explore how living in a technologically advanced era of the internet, along with having a diaspora identity, influences the cultural and religious practices of the post-migration generation. Furthermore, it will explore how it impacts their association and perception towards their homeland and religion and provides them with a sense of belonging living in a multicultural society. The study employs a qualitative approach, conducted through semi-structured interviews with seven members, four from the post-migration generation and three from the migration generation. Thematic analysis reveals how the internet connected the diaspora community to their religious and cultural roots, i.e., Pakistan. It showcased how their perception of culture and religion has evolved and changed due to exposure to the internet, which has helped them learn more about their culture and religion and made them more culturally aware. The findings highlight the complex interplay between media, religious identity, cultural identity formation, and diaspora experiences among the Pakistani Shia Muslims in Oslo. Furthermore, it explores the variation in religious and cultural identity between the two generations and how technology may play a...
Comparative analysis of climate change conference coverage in India and UK newspapers: framing difference
Devaraj, Yoheswari ; Miessler, Jan (advisor) ; Nečas, Vlastimil (referee)
Newspapers from India, a developing nation, and the UK, a developed one, are the focus of the investigation. These nations stand for a variety of social, political, and cultural situations that will undoubtedly have an impact on how the climate change conference is depicted. The thesis adds to an improved comprehension of the role played by the media in shaping climate change rhetoric and communications in various cultural and socioeconomic settings via this comparative examination. Considering the cultural differences between the two countries (developed vs. developing), there were similarities in the framing choices, which highlights the influence of the dominant global media narratives on how climate change is covered. It is acknowledged that this dominant position is essentially the result of fundamental historical inequalities that have led to an accumulation of political and economic power in the West. this was accomplished by examining five distinct frameworks to comprehend how they were used in the four newspapers' coverage of COP27.
Echo of Moscow's coverage of the Ukraine war from 2014 to 2022
Saidova, Aida ; Nečas, Vlastimil (advisor) ; Miessler, Jan (referee)
The media outlets Echo of Moscow, Novaya Gazeta, Dozhd TV, and Radio Svoboda are all seen as counter-propaganda outlets in contemporary Russia. As a result, these leftist media outlets have been more targeted by the law since Putin took office. In this thesis, I investigate particularly how Echo of Moscow reported on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. From its inception, the Echo had operated under the guiding tenet that "all meaningful points of view on events should be presented". However, the station was controlled 66.5% by state-owned Gazprom-Media, meanwhile, the rest controlled by journalists, including the radio station staff, owns the remaining 33.5% (Slavtcheva-Petkova, 2018). Hence, the thesis questions: can the station assert impartiality while accepting funds from Gazprom Media? The study employs the journalistic notions of objectivity and fairness in the framework of a quantitatively-oriented qualitative content analysis of source practices in radio broadcasts by Echo of Moscow. In order to provide satisfactory outcomes, author utilises a quantitative content analysis of hundreds of reports and numerous sources to examine the diversity of viewpoints expressed in Echo Moscow broadcasts published from 2014 to 2022. In the end, author (a) concludes with a summary of the study's key...
Reporting of IDNES.cz and IHNED.cz during the first wave of COVID-19 in the Czech Republic
Kejhova, Natalie ; Jirák, Jan (advisor) ; Miessler, Jan (referee)
Covid-19 did not only take over the lives of citizens in 2020, it also took over the media worldwide and the Czech Republic is no exception. Journalists always held the responsibility of portraying information to the public on major events. However during the first wave of the pandemic in particular journalists were seen as having a new sense of power which was that their words could influence the public's opinion on policies issued by the government like whether to wear a mask or not. The findings of this thesis showed that the publication Mladá fronta Dnes overall published articles that were informative and matter of fact whereas the publication Hospodářské noviny resulted in being more critical to the regulations that were issued by the government resulting in more of a discussion. Overall this thesis looked at how media frames are used by journalists in articles to portray particular ideological standpoints. Keywords Pandemic, Coivid-19, Media, Media Frames
